Games That Deserve A Sequel

Fobia writes: "What makes a great video game? Is it the story? The main character’s personality? The genre of the game? The realism of the graphics? Physics? Action? Emotion?…What? Does a game have to have a combination of two or more to make it considered “Great”? To go along with these questions, does only a great game deserve a sequel? I know that if a game does not cover the cost of production and a little extra, it is highly unlikely that game will be allowed to have a sequel. Or if the company does not think that a sequel will be profitable, then the whole idea of making a sequel will be swept under the rug. That is the way things are; its all about the money. But…what if it wasn’t? What if the final say if a game being created wasn’t if it would sell a million copies? What if it was if the game would have a great story? Changed the way a genre is played? Creates a new genre?"

Love those 2, and Folklore. Folklore probably sold so low because no one has been able to find copies of it for a while, all people are buying are used copies. Combat was fun it in, and the story was interesting.

...What... yes i know there are sequals but none of them were true to the first. dmc2 was just plainly bad dmc3 was fun but it lacked the fealing of number 1, nothing but heavymetal and cheesy lines. dmc4 was too fucking colorful, where the hell were the demons, why the hell am i fighting colorful fantasy monsters from fantasy Land.

only reason im still a very big fan of the dmc series is because i still have much love for the first DMC.

i want serious dante with only a little humor(just like the 1st)

i want a mysterious and dark theme/feeling (just like the first)

i want less heavymetal music and more evilchurch orchestrated music(just like the 1st)

LAIR 2 would probably look better than GOW3, and the controls would be phenomenal. But the hate from the first game would battle it to the ground. LAIR was pretty bad. I don't see to many games getting an award winning sequel from a failing prequel. I don't see people giving the second one a fair shake.

Heavenly Sword definitey deserves a sequel. Too bad Ninja Theory never supported their own masterpiece. They can fall off for all I care.

I would like to give it up for my man Luigi here, A luigi's mansion 2 would make my day

This may sound 'stupid' but I have said and heard worse things;Farcry3 I personally enjoyed FC2 alot until it broke down..... and ended up in the heap but alot of good things exist therein....(less the bolt action rifle with the bolt on the wrong side :/

What a dumb list. Haze is rubbish even without the problems. The Club was one of the worst games ever made. It was so bad it was cloned into 50 Cents crap game. The author must be young and have no taste in games at all. There is a lifetime of consoles to pick from. All these games deserve sequels: Shenmue 2 The Getaway Star Fox Legacy of Cain Eternal Darkness Comix Zone

i knew HS would be on this list...I loved that game. and, if it was released later in this gen, its length would be acceptable..since short is the new theme it seems. But seriously, make another one..and make it longer...and, trophy patch the first. :P

Of course, the fellow is entitled to his opinion, but Folklore is the only decent new IP in there. Haze, The Club, and all the "honorable mentions" are indefensible. Maybe... maybe a Heavenly Sword sequel would be worthwhile, with dramatically different design decisions, but it's not like there's some scarcity of God of War style brawlers and military FPS games. IPs that seem to be languishing that deserve sequels: Demon's Souls, Warcraft RTS, Civ: Revolution, Homeworld, Dark Cloud, Champions of Norrath, Okami on console, etc-- you'll notice these are great games in genres (ARPG, RTS, RPG) that are actually under-represented this gen (esp. on consoles), not mediocre FPS games and brawlers (there's plenty of those already).

LOST ODESSEY and LOST ODESSEY and LOST ODESSEY!!!!!!!!!!! wtf microsoft i wish they made a trilogy in he second it has seth and gongora in another world and gongora takes over the third the two worlds collide and gongora tries to enslave everyone and it has kaims grandkids as main characters alongside immortals in the third or even follow kaims decendants they could do so much with it id just be worried they would ruin the fantastic story its a masterpice

Why on Gods green earth would Haze deserve a sequel? I played through the entire game (and finished it) and i can honestly say it was a pretty bad game. And "The Club" you seriously have to be kidding me. Heavenly Sword for sure, and Folklore so long as they fix the story, and dialog.
